Dimitri Payet's virtuoso performance at Bournemouth tonight ended in a display of mutual appreciation between himself and the West Ham supporters.
As the two teams left the field at the final whistle, the French midfielder - who scored West Ham's equaliser and then set up Enner Valencia for his first of a brace - was ushered towards the travelling fans by James Collins.And after a fine rendition of the 'Payet' song, he reacted by thumping his chest and bowing to the supporters in mock "I'm not worthy" fashion - before being greeted by ecstatic club captain Mark Noble, who threw his arms around his match-winning team mate.
